Hi How much time would you say I should allow for a visit to this museum? How long were the movie your referenced? We have to catch a 5 PM flight out of Portland the day we have in Astoria. Thanks. Gwen
A:
We were there for an hour and a half—max you’d need is 2 hours.
Is this a self guided tour? Our schedule is somewhat tight. Approximate time to go through the museum and ship?
A:
You can go at your own pace. One could easily spend hours here, but you can also get a taste of what's there in 60-90 minutes. A bit rushed, but possible.
Is the shuttle associated with the cruise ship....so you have to take the cruise ship tour or is it provided by the museum? Is there a charge for the shuttle?
A:
The trolley stops at the museum. It is $1 for one ride or $2 all day.
